Nice build and numbers! Curious GTX3582? Hotside?
p.s. I wouldn’t use the Hobbs switch wired direct to the pump. Use the Hobbs to turn on a 40 amp Automotive relay, then the relay turns on the pump. I have seen the Hobbs switches drop voltage and get warm after they get old. M2C

I've been able to make some low boost E pulls, yeah! The car pulls great, a lot smoother than I expected give the 2.0L and big turbo. Spins through second on low boost with these junk tires on the car and the frigid cold weather in MD right now. I cruised slow the other night and nothing wanted to play, was hoping to get a video on here running something to give it a relative look.
I"m just going to get a tank or two more of driving on it then order my wheels/tires I want on there to get some stick and then figure out how to store some E85 at my house to save me trips to the only pump around town.

This is a really great thread @md_evo_x i live in northern va close to DC getting my VIII back this week! Your car has 2 maps or is it flex fuel? I am currently running to maps 93 and e85 and was wondering how is the consistency of the e85 you get. I'd like to get a e85 gauge reader.

I'm running four maps, low/high boost e/pump. I'm going to flex fuel in a few months but with the Maryland weather I'm just going to put the car away for awhile and worry about some other expensive habits I have lol. I like the idea of flex fuel for safety in the tune for the engine, and ease of fueling based on availability, etc.

Update:
Car has been driving pretty well! 657awhp and 448awtq on e85 on 28 pounds. I'll try and post some videos of pulls against other cars as the opportunities present themselves. What I've learned so far is that 5th is terrible in the EVO X.
I could go larger turbo, but I really think this is the cap for a turbo with lag/response time for the 2.0L. I'm going to leave it this way for awhile and just drive it. Wheels/tires next for some stick.

I def wish I upgraded my FD while I was doing my motor build.

Couple updates for everyone..
Planning on going to Cars and Coffee in Hunt Valley Saturday 02/23 rain or shine and at the worst grabbing food at Iron Rooster if anyone local wants to meet up and ride up there.
Also, careful with shops in post build support. Shouldn't take over three weeks of attempting to call/text and wait to get some feedback to where I eventually just give up and contact another shop (who helps immediately.)
Car is doing great other than the weird situation where it feels like it has a misfire at WOT. If anyone has experienced this, let me know what you found if anything to resolve. I've already replaced all relays and fuses related with updated parts from Mitsubishi.
